We have
so many festival round the corner ,hence sharing a kheer would be very apt at
this moment .I came across this vegetable kheer recipe from this space long
back ,have been waiting to try it for so long finally tried and it turned out
to be awesome.. We loved it.

If you
serve the kheer to anyone the might not even guess as it has veggies in it the
vegetables blend very well with the nuts and resemble one among them. You will surely
get appreciated in your home when you prepare them.. Give a try :)

1.Chop the Carrot,
Beans and Potato into very small cubes. Soak the Almonds in hot water and set
aside. In a large vessel add in the milk and water and start boiling. The
vegetables will get cooked in the milk and it will take some time hence we are
adding a lot of water .The smaller and finer the veggies are chopped the faster
it gets cooked.

2.Add in
the Chopped Vegetables inside the milk and give a quick start and let it cook.
Add a silver coin in the vessel it will prevent the milk from over flowing and
keep on stirring at regular intervals to avoid getting burnt at the bottom.

3.In a blender
add in the Crumbled Khoya, Soaked Almonds and milk and blend to a fine paste. Check
if the vegetables are cooked.

4.Now add
in Saffron, Sugar and the ground Khoya, Almond paste to the kheer and mix well.
Keep on stirring to ensure all the ingredients are evenly mixed. Now the milk
would have becomes bit thick and the kheer consistency would have reached check
for sugar if required add at this stage.

5.Add 1
tbsp of Ghee roast the nuts and mix with the kheer. Give a quick stir and
switch off the flame. Serve hot

Notes:

I have
used unsweetened Khoya for this recipe .If using sweetened khoya adjust the
sugar level accordingly.

The Khoya
can also be replaced with ½ cup reduced milk.

Cauliflower
can also be added to the kheer .Make sure you chop it very finely.
